Chapter 318
"Kill—" Xie Guanglong roared angrily, with manic excitement in his wide-eyed eyes, he kicked his horse and rushed towards the Huns who were in a hurry to fight.

While shooting arrows, the Huns rode their horses and turned and fled.There were only more than 300 of them, and they were attacked suddenly, so they had no time to speed up, so they had to run away.

Unfortunately, Xie Guanglong and the others did not intend to give them a chance to escape.They increased their horses to the limit speed, ran with all their strength, and caught up with the Huns in just a dozen breaths.Xie Guanglong screamed, brandished his spear, and picked and killed three Hun knights one after another, entering the formation like a bamboo shoot.

The spearhead made by Uzi iron is extremely sharp, and the leather armor and iron armor on the Huns are useless at all, and they are invincible.The bows and swords in their hands were too short, and they couldn't even touch their opponents, so they were picked off their horses by spears, and then they were trampled to death and injured by the galloping horses.

Alexander and other teenagers held spears and closely followed Xie Guanglong's footsteps, rushing in like the wind, and ruthlessly swept away the Huns.

The Huns collapsed at the first touch and could only flee in all directions.

Xie Guanglong tightly bit the commander of the Xiongnu, chased for four or five hundred steps in one go, finally caught up behind the commander, and picked him off the horse with a spear.

Alexander followed, jumped off his horse, cut off the commander's head, and held it up high. "Master, this can be exchanged for a meal of wine."

"Haha..." Xie Guanglong laughed. "Don't worry about the heads, just remember the numbers. When we go back this time, no matter how many people we kill, my lord will not treat us badly. Haha, my lord is right, this job is more suitable for me."

Alexander agreed, threw away his head, and led the Huns' horses over. "Master, you can put it on and let this horse rest for a while."

Xie Guanglong responded without getting off his horse, and jumped over directly, urging the horse to run.Alexander also changed a horse, then led the two horses, turned their heads, and ran towards the battlefield.

The battlefield has become a collapsed situation, more than 700 cavalry will surround more than 300 Huns in the middle, those who are far away will shoot arrows, those who are close will slash and stab with spears. He quickly disrupted the formation of the Huns and drove them away. The Pu Lei knights followed closely behind, drew their bows and set arrows, and shot the Huns to death one by one.

There were more than 300 Pulei knights, but Liang Xiao and others stole the limelight.

Liang Xiao, Sigma, and seven mercenary archers, under the protection of the Greek teenagers, drew their bows and shot as much as they wanted.Within a hundred steps, seven or eight out of ten hits, and within sixty steps, almost no one misses.Liang Xiao was sure to hit every shot, every sound of the string, one of the Huns was hit by the arrow.

They didn't just shoot at the Huns when they saw the Huns, but they chose valuable targets as much as possible, such as ten commanders, centurion commanders, archers with good archery skills, or knights who looked brave. their goals.Before the young Greek knights entered the effective range of the Huns, they eliminated most of the threatening Huns, making it easier for the young Greeks to charge.

Pu Lei knights do not have such archery skills and range, only Pu Jia and the guards around him can barely keep up.Facing the fighting power of Liang Xiao and the others, they could only express their sincere admiration, willingly accepting Liang Xiao's command, and rushing after them.

The battle broke out suddenly and then stopped abruptly. In less than half an hour, except for some Huns who escaped, all the rest were killed.

Liang Xiao immediately ordered to gather the Huns' war horses, searched for the dry food they carried with them, and disappeared into the vast grassland again.

For more than ten days in a row, Liang Xiao used this method to raid the small groups of Huns he met along the way.Utilizing young Greek knights equipped with iron armor, spears and new-style harnesses to break through, mounted infantry follow up to expand the results of the battle, Pu Lei people follow and kill, coupled with the precise archery of Liang Xiao and others, often in one or two charges The victory will be established within one day, and the next step will be a one-sided killing.

While maintaining a high-speed march of about 300 miles per day, Liang Xiao strictly controlled casualties.Whenever he encountered Huns with more than 5000 people, he would take the initiative to avoid them unless it was absolutely necessary.At the beginning, many Pulei people criticized him, thinking that he was cowardly, but when they accumulated a lot, they fought 50 to [-] times, killed [-] enemies, but managed to control the casualties to less than [-] No Pulei people doubted Liang Xiao's actions anymore.

Everyone wants to win, but no one wants to die in worthless battle.No one would reject this kind of heart-pounding battle where the strong bullied the weak, and insisted on fighting the big with the small, and defeating the strong with the weak.Especially for the Pulei people, their strength is too weak, any one of them is precious, and they cannot give up easily.This kind of battle is the most suitable for them.

-

At night, Liang Xiao and others attacked a small tribe with less than a hundred people at the foot of Zhuoxie Mountain.After slaughtering all the men, old people and children in the tribe, Liang Xiao ordered to set up camp, slaughter sheep and cattle, and eat to his heart's content.

High-intensity marches and battles require sufficient nutrition for support. Although the Pulei people are also nomadic people, in fact, they are not willing to eat meat at all. Most of them eat dairy products as their staple food, plus some grain in exchange for sheepskin and cowhide.Eating meat is definitely a big deal for them, and eating meat every day is even more unthinkable.

This kind of good thing can only appear in a battle, and a battle that is overwhelming.In order to express their gratitude to Liang Xiao, they took the initiative to prepare the dinner.Hundreds of Pu Lei people went into battle, lit a fire, boiled water, and brought down the sheep. In a short period of time, the smell of meat overflowed.

"My lord, the most beautiful women have been cleaned, and you can enjoy them." Pu Jia walked over and laughed loudly.Successive days of victories made him a lot more cheerful, and his voice became a lot louder.

"I'm not interested." Liang Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Your Majesty, use it yourself."

"Haha, my lord has these four beautiful female warriors by my side, and I really don't like those dirty and smelly Hun women. Then I will not be polite." Pujia rubbed his hands and warmly invited Xie Guanglong and others.Xie Guanglong was in the middle of his arms, asked Liang Xiao for instructions, and followed excitedly. Even a few Greek veterans couldn't hold back, and followed into the tent while laughing.

Liang Xiao turned a blind eye.He knows that this is not the time to be a moral gentleman, he can not do it himself, but he can't stop others.Apart from being interested in money and women, these rough men cannot have higher pursuits.In the fierce and tense battle, let them relax at the right time, which is conducive to alleviating hostility and avoiding internal conflicts.

He would do it occasionally himself if it weren't for the presence of four Amazons at his side.

Huangfuqi walked over.Before the expedition, Liang Xiao had told Pujia that the valuables among the trophies could be handed over to Huangfuqi, who would record the accounts and convert them into weapons, food and other daily necessities they needed.The number of beheadings of each person was also reported to Huangfuqi uniformly so that the final meritorious deeds could be rewarded.Every night, Huangfuqi would report to Liang Xiao.

"What did you gain today?" Liang Xiao handed over a glass of water, signaling that Huangfuqi would be opposite him.

Huangfuqi sat down, took the water, and took a big gulp. "I can't harvest it today. I beheaded 310 level [-] gemstones. I received only one gemstone, and the color is not good, so it's not worth a lot of money. However, I heard a piece of news, and the adults may be very satisfied."

"Really? Let's hear it."

"The Xiongnu Shanyu did not go west. At present, only the tribes on the right side of the Xiongnu are assembled. The total force should be around 9 to [-], less than [-]."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.The Huns claim to have 40 people who control strings. The central part of the Huns where Shanyu Wangting is located is the strongest, with about 20, and the remaining two left and right sides add up to about 20.Shanyu did not go west, and only the troops from the right of the Xiongnu launched an attack, so the pressure on Dawan was much less.

Liang Xiao calculated carefully.Judging from the total number of troops, it is unlikely that the Huns will attack Suye City and Guishan City at the same time. The most likely possibility is to besiege Suye City.The Huns are not good at attacking the city. Their most likely choice is to besiege. As long as Meicai and Ashana are not careless, they will dig a well in Suye City in time to ensure drinking water in the city. Two months shouldn't be a problem.

In this way, the possibility of dragging the war to winter is greatly increased, at least the prospects are not bleak.

"Do you know why Shan Yu didn't go west?"

"It's not clear yet. I heard that Shan Yu decided to go west at first, but he had already reached Longleshui. For some unknown reason, he gave up again. Now the person in charge of the war in Dawan is King Youxian."

Liang Xiao thought about it carefully, and felt that it might be that the imperial court increased its troops on the border, which aroused the worry of the Huns, so the main force of the royal court did not dare to go west easily.Whatever the reason, it was a good thing for him.Although the 30 Huns are still very powerful, they are easier to deal with than the [-] Huns.

For him, Shan Yu did not participate in the Western Expedition and had two advantages:
First, in order to ensure the superiority of troops, King Youxian will definitely mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized as much as possible. They will have fewer troops left behind, and the resistance he faces will be correspondingly smaller.

Second, in the absence of Shan Yu, whether King Youxian has enough prestige to control the kings of various ministries has become a problem.King Youxian is not Shan Yu after all, he is on an equal footing with the kings of other ministries, once a disagreement arises, whether he can control the situation and make a decision as soon as possible is a question mark.Once there is a disagreement among them, their military advantage will inevitably be discounted, and the pressure on Meicai and Ashana will be less.

"God helped me too." Liang Xiao smiled. "If the kings of the Huns are at odds, there will be drama to watch."

"There must be conflicts among the kings. However, the strength of the Huns is still obvious. If the battle goes well, their conflicts will not be easily exposed. If we want to disperse their forces, we have to increase the intensity of harassment, so that all The king is worried about his rear and cannot fight with all his strength."

Liang Xiao cocked his mouth and joked, "Is the old man thinking about the jewels collected by the various ministries?"

Huangfuqi laughed. "My lord, did you also have this intention?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

In the tent in the distance, there were low growls that sounded heartily.
